It’s not going to help the country to be subsidizing uneconomical forms of energy – whether you call them ‘green,’ ‘renewable’ or whatever. In that case, the cure is worse than the disease.

I think being a young woman in this industry is complicated. It’s challenging, but you have to persevere and stay true to yourself.

We had forgotten the art of using silence to convey emotions in our films and that’s what you seem to have mastered. You’ve used silence to great advantage in the film. It’s brilliant.

I’m a selective pack rat. There’s some things I have no problem getting rid of and others I hold onto dearly.

So just to be truthful to my own sensibility, I need to acknowledge that the season is not all joy and light for a lot of people. It’s tough – environmentally, emotionally, spiritually.

I wasn’t real quick, and I wasn’t real strong. Some guys will just take off and it’s like, whoa. So I beat them with my mind and my fundamentals.

Thieves must sit in prison.

The journey of making a film is as important as the final product.

Not bad, not bad at all,” Diotallevi said. “To arrive at the truth through the painstaking reconstruction of a false text.

Writing doesn’t mean necessarily putting words on a sheet of paper. You can write a chapter while walking or eating.

It’s not whether you get knocked down, it’s whether you get up

If cops were viewed as the enemy, the tenuous balance of power could shift. Laws would be broken out of contempt. Authority wouldn’t be acknowledged. Police officers might even be attacked, or worse.

It feels as if the world has acknowledged and accepted our sincerity.

Your journey may be tough, but the destination will be worth it.

Histories are to educate, so that we understand better for ourselves and for motivation.

It is a very happy feeling that a legend like Rahul Dravid talks highly about me. But I can’t just sit back and be happy about it. I have to back it up with my performances.

I never fit in anywhere growing up, and that made me realize I was destined to create my own path.

There is a big logical jump between acknowledging the destructive nature of hyperinflation and arguing that the lower the rate of inflation, the better.

Four marks of true repentance are: acknowledgement of wrong, willingness to confess it, willingness to abandon it, and willingness to make restitution.

Those are my principles, and if you don’t like them… well, I have others.

The acknowledgment comes naturally for those who deserve it.

It’s true that I’ve made lots of mistakes but I’ve never tried to bother anyone. I want to stay alive, preferably in peace, without seeing every one of my mistakes in the papers, and on many occasions, even stories that are lies.

Always read your contract. Know what you’re getting yourself into. Know your worth.

I know the consequences of my actions.

In great cities men are brought together by the desire of gain. They are not in a state of cooperation, but of isolation, as to the making of fortunes; and for all the rest they are careless of neighbours. Christianity teaches us to love our neighbour as ourself; modern society acknowledges no neighbour.

In the white community, the path to a more perfect union means acknowledging that what ails the African-American community does not just exist in the minds of black people; that the legacy of discrimination – and current incidents of discrimination, while less overt than in the past – are real and must be addressed.

Act well your part; there all the honor lies.

Nothing can be loved or hated unless it is first understood.

Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.

I must get used to the idea that no one will ever understand me. This fate must be common to all people who are very difficult to get along with.

Grow spiritually and help others to do so. It is the meaning of life.

We can know only that we know nothing. And that is the highest degree of human wisdom.

Depression doesn’t take away your talents—it just makes them harder to find. But I always find it. I learned that my sadness never destroyed what was great about me. You just have to go back to that greatness, find that one little light that’s left.

Do I need my number retired throughout the course of the league to acknowledge what I’ve done? No.

We are equal. We both walk our two feet on the same earth. And we’re in this together.

I allow myself to fail. I allow myself to break. I’m not afraid of my flaws.

I work all day, do research, sketch my ideas, prepare for performances.

I want women — and men — to feel empowered by a deeper and more psychotic part of themselves. The part they’re always trying desperately to hide. I want that to become something that they cherish.

I have so much music to release, but I’m meticulous. I’m like, “You’ve got to redo that part, redo that part.” And people are like, “Just forget that and go ahead with it.” But it’s all about perfection, about trying to make it as good as you can.

You must expect great things of yourself before you can do them.

It is open for anyone to have freedom of speech, and I guess we can all play a role in trying to make a difference in the world. Particularly if your leader is not helping in that area.

I’m an extremist so I’m either hated or loved. I think it’s down to when I first got to Formula One not always knowing what I was saying, saying things that mean one thing but people were taking the other way and then people don’t forget.

This is much more than I dreamed about as a boy. I want to thank football in general for what it has given me.

You have to be the antithesis of the status quo. You have to work against it. It’s not about a reaction. You don’t need to react to anything. We need to be proactive in our own movement of positivity.

The worst thing is not that the world is unfree, but that people have unlearned their liberty.

Doesn’t the art of the novel, with its feel for the relativity of human truths, require that the author’s opinion stay out of sight and that all thinking be left to the reader alone?

Chance and chance alone has a message for us… Only chance can speak to us.

I allow myself to fail, I allow myself to break. I’m not afraid of my flaws.

I feel a frantic desire to free myself. To start all over again and in another way.

I want people to walk around delusional about how great they can be – and then to fight so hard for it every day that the lie becomes the truth.

For being different, it’s easy. But to be unique, it’s a complicated thing

In order to build strength, you have to usually come from a lot of weakness

I want my fans to love themselves. It’s almost like I want to hypnotize them so when they hear my music they love themselves instantly.

To play at Real Madrid, it is not enough to just have football quality. You must be mentally strong.

I have never doubted myself even if others did, I always believed I could get to where I am today and thank God this came true.

My one regret is that I didn’t win a trophy with Tottenham, despite us being a strong team who played good, attractive football.

No matter how bad the situation , it could always be worse.

I gave too many people second chances and they scared me, I can’t trust anybody.

All we can do in the face of that ineluctable defeat called life is to try to understand it.

Only thing I got to do is be a better father to my children! Everything else gone fall in place!

Let my good outweigh my bad, and keep pushing!

The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory.

Destruction is the work of an afternoon. Creation is the work of a lifetime.

ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF LIFE. NEVER SECOND-GUESS LIFE.

My father used to say that it’s never too late to do anything you wanted to do, And he said , You never know what you can accomplish until you try.

If you’re trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I’ve had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

People didn’t believe me when I told them I practiced harder than I played, but, it was true. That’s where my comfort zone was created by the time . The game came, all I had to do was react to what my body was already accustomed to doing.

The basketball court for me, during a game, is the most peaceful place I can imagine. On the basketball court, I worry about nothing. When I’m out there, no one can bother me.

I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength.

You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.

I’ve never been afraid to fail.

We learned about gratitude and humility – that so many people had a hand in our success, from the teachers who inspired us to the janitors who kept our school clean… and we were taught to value everyone’s contribution and treat everyone with respect.

Countries are stronger and more prosperous when the voices and opinions of all their citizens can be heard.

So the next time we battle with our kids over those vegetables, or they refuse to join us for a walk to the park, the next time we struggle to change our schools or communities, we need to remind ourselves that parents everywhere are going through exactly the same thing. We have to remember that we’re all in this together.

You have to stay in school. You have to. You have to go to college. You have to get your degree. Because that’s the one thing people can’t take away from you is your education. And it is worth the investment.

Whether it’s a friendly match, or for points, or a final, or any game—I play the same. I’m always trying to be my best, first for my team, for myself, for the fans, and to try and win.

Let’s be very clear: Strong men – men who are truly role models – don’t need to put down women to make themselves feel powerful. People who are truly strong lift others up. People who are truly powerful bring others together.

When I get up and work out, I’m working out just as much for my girls as I am for me, because I want them to see a mother who loves them dearly, who invests in them, but who also invests in herself. It’s just as much about letting them know as young women that it is okay to put yourself a little higher on your priority list.

For me, being Mom in Chief is, and always will be, job number one.

It’s about leaving something better for our kids. That’s how we’ve always moved this country forward, by all of us coming together on behalf of our children, folks who volunteer to coach that team, to teach that Sunday school class, because they know it takes a village.

Don’t ever make decisions based on fear. Make decisions based on hope and possibility. Make decisions based on what should happen, not what shouldn’t.

The issues that cross a president’s desk are never easy. The easy questions don’t even get to the president.

I just save my money, man. I don’t even try to enjoy it like these other rappers; they having fun and they lit, but they gon’ be broke later on. I be savin’, I be chillin’. It feels good to know I got it, but it feel better to know I’ma keep it too.

When you are struggling and you start thinking about giving up, I want you to remember something that my husband and I have talked about since we first started this journey nearly a decade ago, something that has carried us through every moment in this White House and every moment of our lives, and that is the power of hope—the belief that something better is always possible if you’re willing to work for it and fight for it.

First step of solving a problem is acknowledging the problem.
